  • Start - Parliament House

  • As good a landmark as any...

  • Canberra

  • Entering New South Wales

  • Canberra Ave heading toward Queanbeyan

    at 12km
  • Right Hander at Bungendore

    at 38km
  • Braidwood

    at 87km
  • The 'Clyde' Escarpment

    at 106km
  • While this has some cool twisty bits, watch for the Canberrans doing thier lemming run to Bateman's Bay. These bastards can be dangerous.

  • Left Turn into Bateman's Bay

    at 146km
  • Good place to stop for a leg stretch and a coffee. Optional Side Trip - this coastal stretch is a bit prettier than the Princes Highway heading south.

  • Left Turn here

    at 166km
  • Broulee

    at 171km
  • Left Hander back onto the Prince's Hwy

    at 184km
  • Bodalla

    at 206km
  • Kianga

    at 220km
  • Narooma

    at 224km
  • Optional Sidetrip - Tilba

    at 239km
  • A sligth detour off the main trip if you happen to have the missus riding with you.

    Tilba is one of those little villages full of sickening girly craft shops and stuff. But it does have a pub if you want somewhere to wait while she goes shopping.

  • Right hander - back onto the Prince's Hwy

    at 243km
  • Left Hander to Bermagui

    at 244km
  • While this is technically a side-trip, it's possibly the best part of the ride - so don't miss it!

  • Bermagui

    at 256km
  • Right Hander here to Tathra

    at 258km
  • Veer left here

    at 291km
  • The Docvtor George Mountain Road vs Tathra Rd junction is more obvious in real life than it is on this map.

  • T- intersection

    at 302km
  • Turn left at the top of the hill to the Tathra Pub - has a great beer-deck out the back with brilliant views. Or turn right to proceed to Bega.

  • Bega

    at 318km
  • Left Turn up to Brown Mountain

    at 326km
  • Brown Mountain

    at 363km
  • Lots of nice tight twisties - but the surface is pretty badly corrugated in many spots

  • Piper's Lookout

    at 369km
  • It's traditional to stop at Piper's Lookout after carving up Brown Mtn and exchange views on how it got its name. And it's a nice view too.

  • Decision Point - Back to Canberra

    at 428km
  • If you're only doing a day ride you head back to Canberra from Cooma.

    The bypass via Polo Flat is a handy way to avoid going thru Cooma proper (not that it's all that much of a hassle anyway)

  • Cooma

    at 428km
  • Left Turn towards Jindabyne

    at 429km
  • Veer right to go to Adaminaby/Tumut

    at 436km
  • Optional sidetrip - Left Turn to Dalgety

    at 462km
  • The chance for one last lot of twisties before hitting Jindabyne for a few beers. Otherwise continue straight on if you've had enough for the day.

  • Optional Sidetrip - Bombala Rd

    at 480km
  • Bombala rd out from Dalgety to the Monaro Hwy. Approx 20kms nice new blacktop, and 20kms dirt. The blacktop, however, is new, wide, smooth and uncluttered. If a person was willing to ignore speed limits we're talking about 200km/h sweepers ;-))

  • Right turn onto the Bridge

    at 480km
  • Veer right

    at 480km
  • Right hander to Jindabyne

    at 509km
  • Right Hander to Jindabyne
